😱 Ndaba caught napping, brilliant play by Orsolini. Freuler makes it 1-0
Bologna take the lead before the half-hour mark thanks to a poacher’s goal from midfielder and captain Remo Freuler.
The move starts from Ndaba switching off, as he sees Castro offside on a long ball and stops. The Argentine, however, leaves it alone and Orsolini gets onto the ball instead.
